We’re All Alphas, But That Doesn’t Mean We Have to Be Dogs!

Lin Ying is set up on a blind date by his family. He never meets his date, but instead runs into an Omega going through a special period.

And a hapless Alpha who's in heat.

Since they're both Alphas, Lin Ying kindly takes him to a hotel.

The moment he reaches the door, the Alpha behind him pins him against it and kisses him fiercely.

Lin Ying flies into a rage and kicks him. "Open your damn eyes! I'm an Alpha!"

The other man pauses, then smiles meaningfully. "An Alpha is perfect."

After waking up, Lin Ying calmly takes everything he can carry, including the man's wallet, phone, and clothes.

He thinks he'll never see the man again, so he deliberately runs up his card until it gets declined.

The next time they meet is at a family gathering.

Xie Xianglian smiles in a way that sends chills down Lin Ying's spine.

Lin Ying: "..."

To avoid Xie Xianglian, Lin Ying hides in an empty room.

A familiar, dangerous presence approaches from behind. In a low voice, the man says, "My heat is coming soon."

Lin Ying bolts for the door. "I told you, I'm an Alpha too!"

Much later, Lin Ying complains to a friend: "All Alphas are thinking with their dicks."

His friend: "...You're an Alpha too."

Lin Ying grits his teeth. "Shut up!"

Lin Ying tries all sorts of ways to get rid of Xie Xianglian, but the man sticks to him like glue.

When Lin Ying says he likes Omegas, Xie Xianglian sprays Omega pheromones on himself, deliberately triggering Lin Ying's heat early. Then he puts on a shameless act, pretending he's only helping Lin Ying get through it.

Lin Ying doesn't dare say he likes Omegas again, afraid the mad dog Xie Xianglian will go berserk.

When he sees Xie Xianglian showing interest in another Omega, Lin Ying rushes to play matchmaker. That night, he finds the indecent supplies he sent over waiting on his own bed.

Behind the door, Xie Xianglian stands with a dark expression, smiling sweetly as he asks, "You really want me to find someone else?"

Lin Ying: "..."

P.S.

Expect some melodramatic plot twists.

Neither character switches roles, and there are no children.

Neither of them is exactly a good person.

Coming next (launching 8/12): "The Sickly Beauty Is Coveted by His Nemesis"

Jiang Zhaohua died on the day of the first snowfall.

He was the Jiang family's adopted son. Everyone in the capital knew they had raised him only to help them seize power, and that they never cared whether he lived or died. Yet he blindly obeyed the family's orders, doing everything he could to pave their way to power.

There had never been a place for him in the Jiang family. Outsiders called him a dog the family couldn't get rid of, while the Jiangs treated him like a servant they could order around at will.

No one in the capital treated him like a person. Everyone knew that if they gave him what he wanted, he would do anything for them.

There was no shortage of people who humiliated and toyed with him.

For a scrap of information, he would stand in the rain for half a day. To earn someone's trust, he would never leave them waiting, even in the dead of winter while dressed in a single layer.

His devotion went unrewarded. Once the Jiang family had secured its position, they decided he was beneath them and switched his medicine. After a lifetime of loyalty, he died alone in a sickbed.

When he woke again, the family's young master had gotten into trouble and pushed him forward to take the blame.

Standing opposite him was the heir, Xie Zhuyue, who had been at odds with him for nearly ten years.

Xie Zhuyue had always disapproved of him and made things difficult at every turn. This time, Jiang Zhaohua had no intention of helping the young master, much less of bowing his head to Xie Zhuyue.

The cold wind left him swaying on his feet. He expected a scolding, but instead Xie Zhuyue suddenly stepped forward, pinched the back of his neck, and asked with a sneer, "What, the Jiang family won't even feed you now? Then why not come with me? The heir's residence can spare a meal for one more person."

After being reborn, Jiang Zhaohua discovers that Xie Zhuyue isn't the only one who's changed. He's changed too.

In his previous life, a chronic illness and his cold nature had left him without any romantic inclinations. In this life, however, he can't resist even the slightest teasing.

A few words from Xie Zhuyue are enough to make him burn all over. He tries his best to hide it, but gets found out anyway.

Somehow, the two strike a deal: Jiang Zhaohua will serve as Xie Zhuyue's adviser, and Xie Zhuyue will give him what he needs.

Later, Xie Zhuyue is the first to change his mind. Holding down Jiang Zhaohua's hand as he reaches for his belt, he patiently tries to reason with him. "My dear Zhaohua, you're frail. Keep this up and you'll do yourself lasting harm."

Jiang Zhaohua frowns. "Can't you perform anymore?"

Xie Zhuyue holds back again and again, but even with restraint, he manages to leave Jiang Zhaohua sick for more than half a month.

After examining him, the physician sighs. "My lord, you really need to exercise some restraint. At this rate, you'll wear him out completely."

Xie Zhuyue has no way to explain. He sends the physician off, returns to the inner room, and looks at Jiang Zhaohua, who's wide awake and pale as paper. "Did you hear that? The physician said we need to exercise some restraint."

He deliberately stresses the word "restraint." Jiang Zhaohua's gaze drifts lightly over him. "...Life is short. We should enjoy it while we can."

Xie Zhuyue: "..."
